    Well ‘massive’…

    “Thousands of demonstrators are taking part in global “Hands Off!” protests …, with hundreds rallying in “about a dozen” cities across Europe, a spokesperson for the mobilizing coalition told Newsweek on Saturday.”

    I mean good for them but I’ve seen protests much bigger than a few thousand people spread over a dozen cities.

      I mean it’s still quite impressive that the stupid actions of a President on the opposite side of the world can elicit a protest in the thousands.

        No that is definitely true, in relative numbers these protests are pretty big. But in absolute numbers it’s not like protests these days in Spain for better housing or the ones in Serbia for less corruption is all i’m saying.
